OK! Let's do it! We've been talking of doing an online improv.... a play...... all of us playing characters, audience participation allowed! To read our previous discussion about this, click this link....

http://www.studioeight.tv/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3420

What it is! - An online play writing improv, all of us playing characters. Scene, setting and situation to be decided. Roles to be picked. We'll improv the scene according to channelled energy. Once we select the scene we want to do, we can decide on our roles.

Date – Sunday, July 3rd 2PM - 4PM EST (check the world clock for your time)

How This Will Work – Show up! If you're going to participate, you will need to commit to being here. This won't work unless those who are participating show up on time and stay for the 2 hour duration. Bring your improv energy!

Sign-up List - The date was changed since the last thread, so we need you to commit to being here on this thread, even if you said you would be here on the other thread. ;) On the last thread, these people said they wanted to participate. Here's my commitment... I'm in! How about you?

Here's a list of people who said they's be interested on the last thread where we talked about this.

First, vote for the scene and setting you like the best, then add your name to this thread to let us know you will be here and participate.

After we select the scene, we can either select our roles prior to the improv, or when we show up at the improv.

The way I think it will work best is that with your first post to the thread, you can introduce your character's name and describe your character.

Then, every time your character speaks, you would write, for instance....

Delerious Doloris - Waitress- Then you write the lines... so, each and every time you post to the improv thread, you name your character, prior to the post. Make sense? Could this work?

ok - voted
each scenario presents opportunities for the characters to show her/his own private world, but well, there's nothing like being an out and out 'nutcase' to guarantee freedom of expression.

Well, if we don't get more participants, we're going to have to either postpone this, or do it with just 3 people.

LRod can be the doctor.

Judih can be the nurse.

And I'll be the nutcase.

Pass the lala drugs.

:D

Maybe I should email the others who originally said they wanted to do this and see if they're still interested with this new date and time.

Sorry for the confusion over the date ..... the original date we picked, as it turns out, is the date we'll be on the road back from the shore so I won't be around.

My idea of keeping a calendar is jotting a reminder on my brain... and you know how inefficient that can be.

I was confused. Forgive me.

OK, great!

sooooo.... we've got a cast forming...

Nutcases, each and every one of us. Or maybe someone wants to play the doc who carries a big needle full of thorazine and tries to shrink us, evaluate our wild and uncivilized behavior? hmmm? Or the evil nurse who divvies out the meds and ties us down to our beds so we can't hang ourselves?

I'm considering playing the role of

Deloris Dee, the delectible diva desired by Dangerous Dan, the daring dastardly brother of Dillenger... yes, Deloris Dee, daughter of Daniel Draper, despot, dictator of the country Douranga, undoubtedly, the determined debuttante who decides to disable the diabolical underworld controlled by Diazapam, the doubious devil who has driven her addiction to dialogue entirely in alliteration.

Then, again, on second thought, I might just play myself, 'cause I'm already wack.

We're back too soon from the mountains. Feels like we never left. *sigh*

You can be any character you want. Just introduce your character when you come.

So, a Nuthouse it is!

I hope we don't offend any legitimately mentally ill patrons.

Sunday is coming soon.

This coming Sunday, July 3rd 2PM - 4PM EST (check the world clock for your time)

Be there or be square. ;)

Which forum should we do this in? Should I make a new forum called "Special Events" or something?

Let's name the play.

Who can think of a good name for it?

Be creative. You guys are writers, right?

Let's play "Name That Improv Play."

Go!
